Software and Tools

I develop software tools to support data analysis and experimental research in social and cognitive neuroscience. Below is a list of my contributions, including R packages and other utilities that aim to make complex analyses more accessible and reproducible.

R Packages

Duet

  • Description: An R package for analysing dyadic interactions, focusing on pre-processing, stimuli generation, and, movement kinematics. Designed to handle complex nested data structures and provide user-friendly interfaces for visualisation.
  • Key Features:
    • Visualisation of interaction dynamics
    • Functions for mixed-effects modelling of dyadic data
  • Repository: GitHub Repository
  • Documentation: Package Documentation

Experimental Design Tools

Facial Electrical Stimulation Framework

  • Description: A Python-based framework for real-time control and analysis of facial electrical stimulation (FES) experiments. It integrates with hardware and software to facilitate high-precision studies on emotion perception and facial feedback.
  • Key Features:
    • Hardware integration for Arduino controlled electrical stimulators
    • Compatibility with MATLAB and Psychopy for experiments
  • Repository: GitHub Repository

Contributions to Open Science

I am committed to open science practices, and all my tools are freely available on GitHub. I actively maintain these repositories and welcome contributions and feedback from the research community.
